JJ Redick names which NBA teams had the strongest offseason

Between free agency and the NBA draft, the 2018 offseason was pretty hectic and featured plenty of eye-opening moves.

Obviously, LeBron James heading to the Los Angeles Lakers and Kawhi Leonard getting traded to the Toronto Raptors are massive headlines, but that was just part of the fun.

On the most recent episode of The Ringer’s ‘The J.J. Redick podcast,’ the Philadelphia 76ers sharpshooter answered some questions from fans. One of the topics was about which NBA team had the strongest offseason (not including the Sixers,) and his answer included two Western Conference teams.

Alter: Marshall from Cincinnati: “Besides the Sixers, who else do you think had the strongest offseason this summer?”

Redick: Besides the Sixers, Golden State for sure, [and] L.A.

Pretty safe choices there. Obviously, LeBron going to the Lakers almost instantly makes them winners. Even though Sixers fans are disappointed their team didn’t land James, it’s still good to see him out of the Eastern Conference.

It’s also tough to argue against his choice of the Warriors, as they added one of the best big men in the league in DeMarcus Cousins to an already-loaded roster. Obviously, Cousins may not be back to 100 percent for a while, but the signing didn’t break the bank and he should be good to go for the second half of the year.

At the very least, we can all be glad a few of the best moves of the offseason came from teams the Sixers wouldn’t face until the NBA Finals.
